haha same

Add Fitzy and Seller to the mix and you have an all star line up

Fitzy form is much better than Sellars.

Id love to see Fitzy and Dawes in that forward line with Watts and Howe.

Magner to clear the ball and Kent to boot it long in there , with Gawny resting inside 50 as well.

Trying to make the best of a bad situation, bring on Magner if Clark can be put on the long term list.

I am hoping this means Watts gets a chance to cement a spot up forward. Also it should give a chance to include some midfield grunt in Magner if the club decides that Clark will certainly play no foo

Yep Magner will be upgraded so Neeld can play him in his natural defensive forward position

If Fitzy is going to 'make it' his time is now....... What you say dosen't sound too bad DeeZee

Knowing the MFC's luck recently surely nothing good can happen in 2013 ;)

Kicking goals hasnt been our problem, its getting it out of the centre and inside fifty.

Enter one James Magner.

And then watch Neeld misuse him as a defensive half forward again!

I knew as soon as they said sprain in the same area as the lisfranc it was potentially bad news.

In a way this is a good thing compared to what could've happened.

The screw can be taken out and any scar tissue cleaned up. After a period of rest to whatever ligament is strained he might be well and truly healed.

Obviously Mitch's year is now down the drain but he won't need off season surgery.

It allows us to learn to play smarter footy. Also says to Dawes, Pedersen and Fitzpatrick please show us what you've got! Not to mention Magner must be upgraded.

Other teams get early prognoses' of worse outcomes but they end up being 1-2 weeks, it always seems like for us what appears to be an innocuous injury turns into a serious one.

Look at Lecras! He was meant to be out for ages and came back after 3 weeks!

Back luck (again) big fella. Come back fit, healthy, and hungry!

Isn't LTI 10 weeks minimum? As in if a player goes on LTI it is for a mandated 10 weeks at a minimum, then a rookie can be upgraded?

It's an 8 week minimum.

Took a while to confirm it, but managed to do it through an article on Gawn:

"The 208cm ruckman will be forced to stay on the LTI list for a minimum of eight weeks... The move gives the Demons the flexibility to promote a rookie if necessary"

Dawes still at least a week away you'd think.

Gives Fitzy a chance to play for his AFL career at least.....

Watts, Fitzpatrick and a resting Gawn/Jamar as our tall targets against Carltank.

"Melbourne forward Mitch Clark will undergo minor surgery on his right foot, and will miss the next 6-8 weeks of football."

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-04-30/clark-to-miss-up-to-two-months

Definitely not the best news!

Not the best new, however, there are a few positives.

  • Mitch Clark will have the screw removed and play the last 8-10 games and have a FULL PRE SEASON at years end.
  • Magner or Couch can be elevated from the rookie list to provide much needed grunt in the middle, and maybe lift the clearance stats. (that is of course Clark can be put on the LTI list)
  • Jack Watts to play up forward. I know I will be shot down for this, however, Watts will have more help in the forward line..

Thats my view on it all, I do not see this as doom and gloom.

Don't fear. I've heard that Melbourne's doctors are considering a new experimental surgery where they will attempt to remove Mitch's heart and insert it into Jack Watts' chest as a temporary measure. They'll then place the heart in Mitch's chest again after 8-10 weeks. We'll be fine.

Ahhh a Jack Watts joke... It used to be said "sarcasm is the lowest form of humour", but these days i think it's Watts jokes.

Watts and dawes up forward won't be too bad, just hope the big fella is alright!

Yeah nah, just takin' out the metal so the hole can be replaced with some bone growth (rather than bone growing over the fastener(s)).

I actually thought that one was pretty good.

Reaction to him being put onto the LTL and a rookie being elevated:

Thinking of Magner or Couch:

Possibility might have a better midfeild and Clark still being able to get a few games at the end of the season/full preseason:

Get better soon Mitch!

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
